Sunday Funday

Today started like many others, breakfast, Instacart from the grocery store. But we had company! My wife’s friend and another lovely soul came by. We sat and talked for a bit. We shared our stories, how life has been treating us. This new diagnosis talk and more. I gained a new friend today. Such wonderful visits with friends. I cherish these interactions so much. Such love and admiration on both sides. I could see myself fading after a bit and we said our goodbyes. It was really a lovely time.

This afternoon, my brother in law and sister in law came by before their cruise this week. It was so nice to catch up with them. He made a few attempts this week to stop by but each time I had therapy here and he didn’t want to overstep. I respect that. I caught them up on my upcoming week and how I’ve been doing here recovering from the biopsy. It’s been challenging this week but I am getting through it each day. One day at a time. My niece and her boyfriend also stopped by for a visit. So nice to see such young love.

I made the egg bites with some help from my fav sous chef, my wife. I taught her the proper way to cut an onion for her breakfast this week. She sauteed it with some mushrooms for some scrambled eggs. So, the egg bites were delish. I made enough for 4-5 days or so. The leftover egg mixture I gave to the wife for her scrambles. I can’t wait to have them for breakfast. Super easy recipe. I added some blended nonfat cottage cheese to boost up the protein content, it made it so smooth and silky.

I was a little wobbly cooking and almost fell today a couple times but that was from the tiredness I feel. Maybe I was trying to do too much at once and not trusting myself or my legs… You are not invincible, remember that dummy. I tell myself that daily. We had leftover Costco stuffed peppers and green beans. Yum!

My father in law helped me so much today. I’m so grateful for the help I received. I can’t thank him enough. He dismantled a few items I ordered that were not so safe for me to use per the Occupational Therapist. We repackaged them for return to Amazon. He then assembled a new shower transfer bench for my use in the bathroom as well as a Toilet bar system to ease me getting up off the loo.

I also received some slip in Skechers today. They aren’t ugly but they sure aren’t my dunks or skate shoes. I’ll likely wear them around tomorrow, but I love bare feet around the house. It’s not safe but that is my normal comfort level here.

Time to bathe and then relax with my kitties. Thank you for stopping by to check on me. I appreciate knowing you all read this experience I share. Faith, love and positivity drive me.
